Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have designed a VHDL code for a digital multiplexer. Write a testbench for it, simulate it using GHDL, and analyze the output using GTKWave. What were the discrepancies between expected and simulated outputs?

💡 Hint: Focus on the control signals of the multiplexer.

Challenge 2 Hard

Modify your VHDL design for a digital circuit to include a clock signal. Use GHDL to simulate the updated code and visualize the changes in signal behavior using GTKWave. What changes do you observe?

💡 Hint: Pay close attention to timing adjustments in your waveform graphs.
